111 SELECTAGLAZE THERMALLY ENHANCES 19TH CENTURY LODGE TO 21ST CENTURY STANDARDS Built at the start of the 19th Century, this striking entrance lodge located in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire has morphed into a comfortable living space with the assistance of Selectaglaze secondary glazing. The lodge is at the entrance of an estate that leads to a main country house built in 1675. The magnificent Grade II Listed lodge is of brick construction but clad with decorative carved renaissance style panels and painted entirely black. All of the original leaded light windows were retained but they offered poor insulation and were unable to retain heat efficiently. Estate Manager Giles Paddison contacted Selectaglaze, the UK’s leading designer of secondary glazing, to provide a solution for the thermal inefficiencies. In all, Selectaglaze installed six units from its Series 10 range and one Series 45 single side hung casement. Both ranges are slimline solutions ideal for heritage projects, as they introduce minimal sightlines and are designed to be as unobtrusive as possible.
